Chapter 98: The Most Urgent Task
Chapter 98: The Most Urgent Task
In a small courtyard in a lane in the city center, an old-fashioned vertical plaque hangs at the entrance, which reads: Jiangcheng Zhonghe Real Estate Company.
There is a three-story building in the courtyard, which was the office of a certain department in the early years. Later, for some reason, it became the office building of Zhonghe Real Estate.
Zhonghe Real Estate is the contractor for Shengyuan Community, and the owner listed on the registration documents is Wang Guohai.
However, Wang Guohai himself almost never appeared. The person working in the general manager's office of this small building was a man named Wang Fang, who was in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance and nothing particularly special about him.
At that moment, Wang Fang was listening to Wang Yuzhe's report over the phone.
"Brother Fang, I basically understand everything," Wang Yuzhe said on the phone. "That property speculator is named Lin Baoyi, the chairman of Haishi Guangxia Group. According to his assistant, he invested in Zijinyuan because their consultant, Chen Yuanzhou, was very optimistic about it."
After Wang Yuzhe finished speaking, the other side remained silent, as if they were thinking. He didn't dare to interrupt and could only wait patiently.
After a moment, Wang Fang replied, "Understood. Normal customers buy houses and sell them when they want; it's nothing. The next batch of pre-sale permits has been approved, and the prices will be adjusted then. Wait for my notification."
"Okay," Wang Yuzhe replied earnestly.
Then Wang Fang added, "By the way, if you have money on hand, you can buy a few more, just make sure you keep the houses we mentioned before."
"clear!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Yuzhe breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there shouldn't be any problems this time.
Compared to Chen Yuanzhou and Lin Baoyi, Wang Yuzhe, as the project leader, naturally had a clearer understanding of some things.
For example, although the Zijinyuan project was nominally developed and constructed by Yaojiang Group, it was actually Zhonghe Real Estate that was behind it, and he himself was actually an employee of Zhonghe Real Estate.
As for how these things were accomplished, Wang Yuzhe didn't care and didn't dare to inquire. He only needed to know to listen to his cousin's arrangements, and his annual income of over 50 yuan would remain unchanged.
Even at the end of last year, although Zijinyuan was not selling well, the company still gave all the employees in the sales office a generous year-end bonus, and Wang Yuzhe also received a substantial dividend.
Wang Fang hung up the phone, and the relevant information had already been sent to his email, which was Lin Baoyi's detailed resume.
He opened it and looked at it carefully, but couldn't see anything special about it.
"Was it just pure luck?" Wang Fang muttered to himself, putting the question aside for the time being.
For him, 200-plus units are not a significant impact on the Zijinyuan complex, which has a total of over 3200 units.
……
Three days passed quickly.
During these three days, Chen Yuanzhou was extremely busy, as he had to complete the necessary procedures for the orders he had previously signed.
Fortunately, most payments are made in a one-time transaction, and the process is very simple; you just need to take the landlord and client to the relevant departments.
On the other hand, thanks to the precise language in several of his posts, he has become incredibly popular in the real estate section of the Lou Shang Lou Xia forum.
Most of those who criticized him before have now become his fans, and some colleagues even start talking about his posts during their leisure time, seemingly poised to become big real estate influencers in Jiangcheng.
More and more people are sending him private messages through the forum, and even people from other cities are starting to contact him.
Faced with this situation, Chen Yuanzhou had Mo Dongyan create several QQ groups and began to gradually transfer these customers from the forum to his private domain…
These QQ groups have very straightforward names, such as "[Jiangcheng Weathervane]".
On the evening of November 8th, Chen Yuanzhou posted another thread: 【Zijinyuan, the next Mengmu Pan?!】
This post is not long, and there is not much actual evidence to prove it. The whole content is basically pure speculation—the newly built campus opposite Zijinyuan may be a famous key school!
As we all know, the biggest factor affecting housing prices nowadays, besides official policies, is school districts.
This time, the comments under the post were no longer all sarcastic; more people began to seriously discuss the possibility of his views.
Although this post was not within the scope of the agreement between Chen Yuanzhou and Wu Shihao, it was not artificially pinned.
However, the real estate section editor, nicknamed "Little House," felt that Chen Yuanzhou was generating a lot of buzz, so he put the post at the top of a secondary page, attracting a huge number of views...
Lin Baoyi naturally noticed Chen Yuanzhou's post and made a special call to him.
"Xiao Chen~" His tone no longer held its former arrogance, but instead he asked seriously, "When do you think Zijinyuan will be officially unveiled?"
Chen Yuanzhou replied, "Has President Lin not visited Zijinyuan these past two days?"
"Uh~" Lin Baoyi said somewhat awkwardly, "No, I've been busy with social engagements these past two days. After all, we've already invested nearly 400 million yuan. Zijinyuan itself was an unplanned investment, and we didn't raise much money in the initial stage. I think you should also know about this situation."
"So I'm busy looking for money~ Hahaha~"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanzhou thought to himself that this was indeed a very real situation.
It's only the early stage of market recovery; the storm hasn't started yet, just some minor ripples. It's perfectly normal for Lin Baoyi to have some difficulties raising funds.
Only after the results of the first two investments are validated by the market, building investor confidence, will things proceed smoothly from there.
The reason he's asking about Zijinyuan now is probably because he's unsure and seeking some reassurance.
With this in mind, Chen Yuanzhou had nothing to hide and replied directly, "President Lin, don't worry, the unveiling ceremony should be tomorrow. If you go to Zijinyuan now, you'll see that the ribbon-cutting area has already been set up at the entrance of the campus."
"Really?" Lin Baoyi was overjoyed. "If that's the case, then we should be able to sell a batch of houses as soon as the market opens tomorrow, right? Didn't you say you'd be in charge of sales?"
Chen Yuanzhou smiled and said, "Yes. But Mr. Lin, I suddenly feel like I'm getting ripped off! I'm paid as a consultant, but I still have to worry about sales. How about a raise or something?"
Lin Baoyi laughed heartily, "Don't worry! As long as we close the deal at the price we agreed on, you'll get a 10,000 yuan bonus for each house!"
"Stingy!" Chen Yuanzhou teased.
Lin Baoyi was also a little embarrassed. If he could really sell these houses at Chen Yuanzhou's price of 22000 per square meter, he would make a profit of over 100 million in an instant. Giving Chen Yuanzhou only 2 million was indeed a bit stingy.
However, he still replied, "Xiao Chen, after all, the funds are raised through fundraising, not my personal assets. How about this: once the Zijinyuan project is completed, we can renegotiate the sales commissions, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
"Then it's a deal!" Chen Yuanzhou replied cheerfully.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yuanzhou continued chatting with customers in the group on his computer.
These are all highly targeted customers, essentially ATMs that haven't yet withdrawn their cash, so we absolutely cannot let our guard down.
However, Chen Yuanzhou felt that maintaining the business by himself was too inefficient, and building his own sales team was now a top priority!
